SimpleTools Redact

SimpleTools Redact was created for people who need to prepare PDFs before sending, publishing or archiving documents that contain sensitive information.

Redact private data, clean metadata, sanitize documents, recognize text with OCR and process multiple files in batch — all with a focus on local processing and offline use.

Instead of relying on uploads to online services and later file deletion, SimpleTools Redact prioritizes a more direct approach: your documents stay on your device during the workflow.
